This is bias cut silk ribbon, not the woven kind which we also carry. This silk ribbon is cut on the bias from bolts of fabric. Excellent for dyeing, weaving, knitting, crochet, etc. Can be used for silk ribbon embroidery, although the edges may fray a little - for a better embroidery ribbon see our woven silk ribbon. Habotai and Silk Satin ribbon, all widths, come in double size spools - 67-75 yards each!

I have been using this as a bias binding on necklines. As mentioned by an earlier poster this would be fantastic if folded over on both sides as a binding and slightly wider. As is it does the job but its a bit of a fiddle but its certainly much easier than cutting binding strips from fabric

LOVE THIS! A must-have for bias binding piping in garments for hem finishes. I custom dye it for my projects with either acid or fiber reactive dye. The extra touch is a beautiful finish. Also paint it for a variegated look and knit with it! Fun!

Cuts are a bit rough causing the ribbon edge to fray when unwinding. Also often there are folds in the fabric so the edge has a jagged piece on it. Otherwise dyes beautifully.

wish you had it in wider widths (yeah redundant...)... for binding finished seams of silk and wool outfits.

I have already ordered more. This dyes with Jacquard I-Dyes like a dream and it is a very shiny rich textured ribbon. It does fray but that is part of its character.

I use this daily to finish seams in clothing. While I throw a couple of yards in every dye bath just to have on hand it would be really helpful to be able to purchase a roll in black. Thank you!

I like to keep this ribbon on hand to use up any leftover dye. It is great for embellishing a project or to make ribbon flowers!

This is nice ribbon. I painted it while wet with well-diluted paint in two colors and got a really nice washed out effect.
